Built to last. These Chelsea boots are crafted from Arcadia, a two-tone rub-off leather that will age and build character with every wear. The 2976 boots are welted on a Smoke DMS sole, and tagged with our signature yellow welt stitching and heel loop. The 2976 is the rugged Docs take on the classic Chelsea boot. Manufactured since the 70s Arcadia is high-shine leather with a base dye and contrasting topcoat, which rubs off over time to reveal the underlying color Our Goodyear-welted lines are heat-sealed at 700°C and reinforced with our signature welt stitch
